Portillo's Scottsdale

The food was surprisingly good. Got the classic Chicago dog and Italian beef sandwich with chocolate milkshake, chili cheese fries, and an eclair cake. Would get all of it again. Felt a bit like stepping back into time with the decor of the restaurant. Everything was cooked well and tasted great.

My wife and I stopped at Portillo's Taste of Chicago, dedicated to bringing Chicago-Style hot dogs, Italian beef, and burgers to the Valley. They have a fun '50s diner-meets-Hard Rock Cafe atmosphere. The staff is friendly and eager to serve. We tried one of their Famous Five: their Chicago-style Italian beef and a large order of onion rings. Everything was great. I'll take a good Italian beef sandwich over a cheesesteak any day, and theirs is beefy and juicy—it's so good. They also serve beer and wine and are perfect for groups with ample seating and multiple locations.

First time visiting and I love the vibe. They play oldies music which I love and a true diner feel. The burgers were great and not greasy.

As native Chicagoans, we’ve been going to Portillo‘s for many years. When they moved out here several years ago, we were really happy. Although it’s not close to us, we go there a couple times a year. We both love Chicago favorites. Between us, weusually gets the Italian beef dipped or the Chicago dogs. But this time we both had the Italian beef. If I had one quibble, their gardiniera is not very spicy and they charge extra for it. But the quality of the beef and the gravy were still great and their onion rings were above average.

Delicious Chicago style food. The Italian sausage was delicious. The onion rings are perfectly cooked. Fun atmosphere and helpful staff. Fun classic music plays in the background.
